As the quote goes: "arguing with a fool proves there are two" and that's what we witnessed.

Worse, it may prevent SpaceX from returning humans to the surface of the Moon quickly.

Things seem to have calmed down a little today (with talk of efforts to cool the spat) but in the long run this might effect Musk's closeness to NASA. As we all know, Trump is a man who likes to hold a grudge...

"Closeness" to the president and NASA are two different things. It is not going to affect SpaceX and NASA.

Update from NASA:
NASA is continuing its phased approach to streamline its workforce and reduce its overall headcount.

All NASA civil servants received notification Monday [June 9, 2025] the agency is offering a Deferred Resignation Program, Voluntary Early Retirement Authority, and/or Voluntary Separation Incentive Program. This affords employees the opportunity to depart while ensuring the agency remains fully capable to pursue its mission. Eligibility for these programs will vary depending on each employee's individual situation.
